The problem with boxing is that there's too much variation in the pay scale.
The NBA & MLB figured out how to solve this years ago with collective bargaining
Instead of LeBron James making $100 a year, he might make $40 million, while the guys sitting on the bench are making at least $4-5 million and they have pensions, healthcare, and better job security as they get veteran senority
Instead of Joshua making $25 million a fight, he should make about half that, while the revenue should be shared with the fighters at the lower end of the card, while at the same time investing in all of their healthcare, pensions, etc. . .
Boxing will be a mess until it becomes organized and the labor force shares the revenue and acquires some security.
Until then, it will always be a feast or famine sport where guys at the top are strictly mercenaries chasing the biggest paydays possible because "why not?" if there's no security in the sport.Comment
